8:20 Caim wasn't on Angelus' neck. This implies the watchers grabbed him first and Angelus couldn't save him after breaking off from the watchers. She still found herself surrounded after Caim was eaten. That is why we see Caim's sword falling without passing the watchers below. He dropped it during Seere's descent and laying on the Queen Beast. What a terrifying way to die.
This is one of my favorite endings across all Drakengard and Nier games. Even though they technically won by stopping the Queen Beast, it also feels the most hopeless. Once we get that shot of the earth and the music starts, it truly feels like it's the end. That there's nothing more after this.

I'd say it would probably lose the charm it had if it were animated like a cutscene from Automata or Replicant. I think the dated look gives this an otherworldly and disturbing feel. Remember the scene in automata where the machines were attacking and eating some of the resistance soldiers? Imagine how more disturbing it would be if it looked like DOD1'S CG.

I absolutely love how this ending suckers you into collecting the weapons. From both a story and gameplay perspective, it’s the most depressing; you won, but all the cast dies while accomplishing zilch until the very end in a way that leaves you completely dissatisfied. You finally see the threat talked about all throughout the story, and you can do nothing but seal it away. So when you learn of that last ending, you strive, desperate to find a satisfying conclusion after the constant downward spiral and punt the Watchers back to where they came. And then, when you finally collect all those weapons, overcoming all the ordeals… Ending E happens. And it breaks you. Coming back to this after reading the official novelisation of this particular ending, Magnitude Negative, it really is simultaneously the grimmest and most fitting ending of the lot. Everyone’s arc comes to a close befitting of their personalities, but still you feel dissatisfied, because despite it all there is a part of players that cares. And I think to take such wild characters and make you wish they had a happier ending despite knowing they probably won’t really says something about Taro’s ability to generate empathy with characters who in other contexts would be utterly dislikable. And when you consider the sheer gravity of the threat that this ending barely prevented, something that would’ve ended all existence, this really is the most heroic deed in the entire DrakeNier storyline… made possible by its most fucked up cast. Drakengard, man.
As someone who also prefers ending D over all others, I couldn't have worded it better myself. What a fucked up, brilliant mess of a game Drakengard 1 was.
I like to think the credits ost is the queen beast trying to prevent seere from sealing it. The bells sound similar to how it fights in ending e, getting more fractic till it dies.
Can I just say this is now my head cannon. You’ve made this forever my favourite ending of any game. It makes so much sense. I really love this theory.
Easily the most unsettling ending of the game. E is more famous and while leading to Nier this ending plus the credits leaves me feeling like I just witnessed the death of innocence.
This is the most spine chilling and despair inducing ending I have ever seen. This ending is art itself. The Watchers are sealed by stopping time and humanity lives to see another day; for now, they have won. But in the end, this is not a good ending for humanity. They only delay themselves from their own destruction. It will be a matter of time before they are wiped from existence by another creation from the gods.
@@_1ghenkyy298 The English translation makes it seem like that but The Watchers in Japanese are called The Angels and implies that they were sent by God. I say God in singular because the Japanese version also states that there's only one God and not many.
@@AdrianHernandez-ky8zt Can't really fault them for that change, considering the Chatolic Church's influence on the West. It's still a bummer, though, that they couldn't convey the full details of the dreadful original version from Japan. Cause you are right: the world is not saved in this Ending. Heck, what comes to my mind the most: what if some exterior factor comes in, interacts with that gigantic black cone and awakens Seere/undoes the Time lock? Everything would go back to how it peft off! Monstrous babies still swarming the land, destroying and devouring all creation, Seere himself would get devoured for daring to stop the Queen Beast, no force on the planet being powerful enough or numerous enough to deal with the swarm of Grotesqueries *that are constantly multiplying...* The world is cursed, not saved!
@@MrDibara I think that what is worse yet. Is that this Ending is much more likely to be something that came from the mind of Seere. Considering that the ending is called The Wild Dreams of a [D]eluded Child. This "hopeful" ending just represent the most hopeful outcome that Seere could come up with the stories his mother told during his last moments of life.
@@AdrianHernandez-ky8zt somehow I feel like his mother knew more than what she let on. Her sacrificing herself so her Golem would be his son's... What was the need to do that for ? And why was she constantly trying to influence her son to become heroic through a story that actually mirrors his quite well ? I theorize she had the gift of foresight but never shared it with anyone.
I think Seere has got to be the bravest character in media that I've seen yet. He's so incredibly optimistic, truly believing that recreating the events of The Little Hero will save the world as he is surrounded by the most hellish landscape I have ever seen- giant textureless babies devouring people and friends left and right, a hopeless crimson sky looming above, giant fires errupting everywhere, and an enormous pregnant woman unleashing her baby army upon the world. And he does it with zero hesitation, like a real hero. That is the most admirable feat I've seen in a while. With how chilling and ominous the final scene is with the shot of earth and the song of bells, I really, really hope that in this branch of the timelines Seere succeeded. After all he and everyone else has been through, they really deserve a happy ending.
@@Vadim_Slastihin Just the ones whose parents thought video games didn't have ratings and bought them without question. Same parents who don't realize adult cartoons exist.
@@littlekitsune1 well iam from Russia. And here we got rating system only in 2012. So for me and my friends for example - Terminator 1-2 is a family pictures, even if it had R rating.
Seere: They're devouring Arioch! Verdelet: All has become chaos! We have descended into hell! Leonard: Okay, can someone PLEASE explain what's going on right now? I'm freakin' blind here!
I love the credit song, completely fitting after a crazy journey like dream where you use a dragoon to help a kid reaching a giant pregnant statue before it give birth to a new fucked up world
So if Seere's sacrifice basically ceased the flow of time in End D canon, isn't it possible that it could be reset into motion later somewhere within the Drakenier timeline? Like, say if, for some reason Accord or some other android required data on the seeds of resurrection or the queen beast, they have the ability to navigate previous timelines altering history accordingly
It could very well be possible. Accord is mentioned in a journal entry in the upgraded NieR version so it could be very possible that she is extrapolating the data from all existing timelines. I mean heck she is stated to be on the dark side of the earth in NieR Automata as well. They must have found some way to time travel.
hahah wait that I missed. How is he a pedo? And I mean next to the vengeaful mass murdering prince, the child eating crazed bitch, the incestuous princess, the demon (or god) possesed child with mommy issues, her brother with self-esteem issues and the dragon who falls for the said mass murdering human all the while looking down on the human race and ohyeah the self absorbed priest with questionable beliefs.... he's seems to be the most wholesome yeah. But then again... would be kinda weird, looking at the theme of this game, if he didn't have any issues at all.
F. J. W. A they never come out and say it in the game but its canon and constantly hinted at. Its his big secret. Why he made that face when seere hugged him. Why he wanted caim to not hurt the children soldiers and all that. Hes not evil because of it cause he doesnt act on it but he still feels that way which sucks
I like to believe endings D and E happen jointly. That Seere's chain reaction did freeze Midgard's time, however, the Woman tried to save herself by separating from her womb and go through a freshly open portal, only for a drained Caim and a wounded Angelus to give chase before the black time freezing wave covered them.
This is the end i like the most even been tragic since it was a complete sacrifice of all the character to get this result, also if Drakengard setting development as our maybe in the future their get weapon to destroy those monster, they weren´t so difficult
Hm. While watching this I reminded myself of the situation I had on Writing camp. We were discussing the pacing of the story. It was about some kind of island we come to, where the volcano is about to explode. i don't remember the details but finally, the crisis is averted and everyone is happy. And of curiosity I just asked "But what if it suddenly does? What if everyone dies, because they have nowhere to hide? What then?" and the teacher looked at me weird and went "You have to satisfy the reader" ... But now I wonder is that really what needs to happen in the story? To satisfy the other party? Aside from that even, Its been so long since I truly felt the dread in the videogame in just the setting. I also love the use of looping music notes, reminds me a lot of Yume Nikki, basically because its the only game I remember that used this type of music. Over here there is no insentive in who dies - it goes random, its the best and simultanisly the worst ending you can think of in this situation. And its so... fascinating. It truly is.
Well satisfaction can be given in more ways than just "happily ever after". Look through the whole comment section, its a ton of messages saying the same thing almost: "this is depressing/sucks, but i love it"
@@alexradice8163 well yeah, but the endings title implies that after getting to high altitude, Seere lived out the story of the hero of time in his head. While in reality, they were just there for a few minutes until Caim and Angelus settled on attacking the Queen Beast.
Me. It is so weird that it went from fantasy world with magical creatures like Lord of the Rings, to Medieval future with Zelda-like creatures (Twili to be exact), to Dystopian Future with Sci-Fi.
I'm one of those filthy hipsters who played this game when it came out and then all Yoko Taro's following games relating to it. It's surreal seeing his work finally get noticed now that Automata got popular.
Y'know, after rewatching it, it's really odd that the grotesqueries(?) have such a strong reaction to Arioch eating one of their own. Are they angered? Scared? or did they simply not wish for the residents of Midgard to get any ideas of how to continue surviving in this hellish situation?
I think it's more about her sins. "Having been overcome by insanity, Arioch murdered and devoured young children. Her crazed mind thought that by doing so she could "protect" them within her womb. After these bloody incidents had come up many times, Arioch was captured by the Imperial Army, and taken into custody. ... More than anything, Arioch enjoys feeding on flesh - particularly that of children. It is possible that this urge was caused by her weapon and not her madness alone, as is implied by the weapon's story in Drakengard 2. "
@@YourReadThisWrong You'd think that if it was sins, Leonard would immediately get slaughtered by the grotesqueries first. Or Verdelet (because of his cowardice and inaction constantly endangering others, while having the nerve to judge people just trying to survive.) Caim is kind of hard to kill so it makes sense why he wouldn't be killed fast.
@@marialuke2116 But Leonard hasn't sinned. He was born a monster, but he refused to give in to his monstrous tendencies, trying to protect children rather than prey on them. He's the complete opposite of Arioch.
@@kaiyamya9882 but he also gave into his urges and in doing so ended up delaying his ability to save his younger siblings. Because of his they burned and died. Yet Leonard seems to redeem himself with resisting his urge to react to Seere's hug in a creepy way & the self sacrifice, which would normally be rewarded since it's atonement. However, all he received was death. My point still stands. They don't judge logically if they are in fact judging at all.
Exactly at 3:00, after "Please, Leonard, live! Don't sacrifice yourself" I got an soap ad that said "You're not a dish, you're a man", needless to say I always think of that ad whenever I watch this
Floating giant babies sounds like the dumbest we-run-out-of-ideas concept ever yet this game manages to make it feel as real, terrifying, apocalyptic and disturbing as possible. This game deserves a spot in a museum.
None of the endings apart from A are "happy", in fact, they are all pure horror. I mean, this game is one too. Also the whole thing reminds me of Berserk, and i am quite sure it was inspired by it.
It is. Yoko Taro has pretty stated that Caim was inspired on Guts and is pretty much a rip-off. Ending E is also a complete rip-off of the End of Evangelion.
@@FranK-tg7ou It's an alternate version of medieval europe where the ruins of a modern city shows up out of nowhere, bringing with it magical/fantasy creatures and The Watchers
man if caim was in re 8, he would sweep the entire game in a couple of hours. running and spaming jump attacks against lady D. i wonder what nightmare he would have at beneviento? his parent's deaths probably and that he has to fight/escape legna.
so with ending e of drakengard the mother beast dies and pieces of itself infects modern tokyo and years later nier happens. for an in depth explanation there’s a video you can look up
There are magical deals between two beings called "pacts". You fuse your soul with another adn you become one. You gain more power, heal from damage, and etc. once you make a pact but you soul something in return. For Caim, his voice. For Leonard, his Sight. And for Seere, his time. This makes him immortal and breaking his pact would return his time. As you saw, they launched Seere down to the Queen Beast and then Seere broke his pact with the Golem. So the black thing that spread and grew to reach the exosphere was his time and in effect, every grotesquerie baby and the Queen Beast were trapped in time and thus they saved the world.
@@JV-km9xk Quite a roundabout way to save the world, but I cant fault the effectiveness. I just came back and noticed I left this comment. Are most of these Drakengard games worth going through aside from 3? I have my sights on 3 already but are the other two worth it?
there are multiple timelines in drakengard. ending a is where caim survives and continues on to drakengard 2. ending d, he dies but saves the world from the watchers. ending e is where he and the queen beast get transported to another world and dies. ending E leads to the Nier series. they are canon in their own right but everybody sticks to the ending E timeline since that's where nier is.

That Seere's chain reaction did freeze Midgard's time, however, the Woman tried to save herself by separating from her womb and go through a freshly open portal, only for a drained Caim and a wounded Angelus to give chase before the black time freezing wave covered them.
Interesting theory, i like it
@@volarex5311thanks.
and the aliens wanted to come here why?
Lancaster Greenfield They didn't go there, they appeared on Earth( the world caim and the dragon were teleported to during Ending E)
Not exactly, they are in another Earth.
Sorry Aliens, your Emil is on another Earth.
Lancaster Greenfield, nobody knows. I guess they just wanted a place to live.
Maybe for magic
2:14 The last pleasure before dying.
lol XD
Yo dont say that
"Seere. You are a fine young lad." 😏
@@Epintus06 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Can I off myself because of this comment?
This is the end i like the most even been tragic since it was a complete sacrifice of all the character to get this result, also if Drakengard setting development as our maybe in the future their get weapon to destroy those monster, they weren´t so difficult
"Death need not be the end of hope!"
The true ending to the game (the other 2, D2 and Nier are just different timelines)
Hm. While watching this I reminded myself of the situation I had on Writing camp. We were discussing the pacing of the story. It was about some kind of island we come to, where the volcano is about to explode. i don't remember the details but finally, the crisis is averted and everyone is happy. And of curiosity I just asked "But what if it suddenly does? What if everyone dies, because they have nowhere to hide? What then?" and the teacher looked at me weird and went "You have to satisfy the reader"
...
But now I wonder is that really what needs to happen in the story? To satisfy the other party?
Aside from that even, Its been so long since I truly felt the dread in the videogame in just the setting. I also love the use of looping music notes, reminds me a lot of Yume Nikki, basically because its the only game I remember that used this type of music. Over here there is no insentive in who dies - it goes random, its the best and simultanisly the worst ending you can think of in this situation. And its so... fascinating. It truly is.
Well satisfaction can be given in more ways than just "happily ever after". Look through the whole comment section, its a ton of messages saying the same thing almost: "this is depressing/sucks, but i love it"
The wild dreams of a deluded child.
This ending was a dream of what Seere hoped would happen from a story he was told of from his mom.
The hero from the story is the hope that lived inside everyone
@@alexradice8163 well yeah, but the endings title implies that after getting to high altitude, Seere lived out the story of the hero of time in his head. While in reality, they were just there for a few minutes until Caim and Angelus settled on attacking the Queen Beast.
@@huluandebayman they only imply that the dream is wild and the child is diluted
@@alexradice8163 Yeah, it was all in the mind.
@@huluandebayman really implying a lot for a game that literally has a series based off of it's "joke" ending
Who else binge watched those after finishing NieR Automata?
*before
Me. It is so weird that it went from fantasy world with magical creatures like Lord of the Rings, to Medieval future with Zelda-like creatures (Twili to be exact), to Dystopian Future with Sci-Fi.
I'm one of those filthy hipsters who played this game when it came out and then all Yoko Taro's following games relating to it. It's surreal seeing his work finally get noticed now that Automata got popular.
This is beyond fucked
I love it
@@littlekitsune1 I would love to know more about your experience.
Y'know, after rewatching it, it's really odd that the grotesqueries(?) have such a strong reaction to Arioch eating one of their own.
Are they angered? Scared? or did they simply not wish for the residents of Midgard to get any ideas of how to continue surviving in this hellish situation?
I think it's more about her sins.
"Having been overcome by insanity, Arioch murdered and devoured young children. Her crazed mind thought that by doing so she could "protect" them within her womb. After these bloody incidents had come up many times, Arioch was captured by the Imperial Army, and taken into custody.
...
More than anything, Arioch enjoys feeding on flesh - particularly that of children. It is possible that this urge was caused by her weapon and not her madness alone, as is implied by the weapon's story in Drakengard 2. "
@@YourReadThisWrong You'd think that if it was sins, Leonard would immediately get slaughtered by the grotesqueries first. Or Verdelet (because of his cowardice and inaction constantly endangering others, while having the nerve to judge people just trying to survive.)
Caim is kind of hard to kill so it makes sense why he wouldn't be killed fast.
@@marialuke2116 We cannot hope to understand the mind of Yoko Taro, only enjoy it giving us babies with such pretty pearlies.
@@marialuke2116 But Leonard hasn't sinned. He was born a monster, but he refused to give in to his monstrous tendencies, trying to protect children rather than prey on them. He's the complete opposite of Arioch.
@@kaiyamya9882 but he also gave into his urges and in doing so ended up delaying his ability to save his younger siblings. Because of his they burned and died.
Yet Leonard seems to redeem himself with resisting his urge to react to Seere's hug in a creepy way & the self sacrifice, which would normally be rewarded since it's atonement. However, all he received was death.
My point still stands. They don't judge logically if they are in fact judging at all.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997)
1:00 reminds me of End of Evangelion
I think is a reference
I would have loved to hear Arioch scream, because her cannibalism was her downfall
1:28 I. HEAR. A. SOUND...
THE BELLS OF MY NIGHTMARES
Well, that was my nightmare fuel for today
Exactly at 3:00, after "Please, Leonard, live! Don't sacrifice yourself" I got an soap ad that said "You're not a dish, you're a man", needless to say I always think of that ad whenever I watch this
something about these games like INTENSELY stresses me out
best ending out of all the taro games
This game was more disturbing than people think
Floating giant babies sounds like the dumbest we-run-out-of-ideas concept ever yet this game manages to make it feel as real, terrifying, apocalyptic and disturbing as possible. This game deserves a spot in a museum.
This ending is kino
None of the endings apart from A are "happy", in fact, they are all pure horror. I mean, this game is one too. Also the whole thing reminds me of Berserk, and i am quite sure it was inspired by it.
It is. Yoko Taro has pretty stated that Caim was inspired on Guts and is pretty much a rip-off. Ending E is also a complete rip-off of the End of Evangelion.
Even ending A is terrible seeing as to how it's just delaying the inevitable.
@@OldTrenchHey if Drakengard 2 happens after it then it's honestly alright
“Cinema” - Martin Scorsese
Pure fucking kino.
- 4chan
Ngl, this gave off some creepy vibes
Baby teeth was ahead of its time
This game should be remade
and uncensored
My favorite song in the game
9:20 i know this is not our world but doesn that look like italy ????????? the boot shaped country
Well, funfact. The game's map is actually a downside version of Europe's map ;) so yes, it is Italy, and there are all other countries too.
thx for explaining!
Its more obvious in Drakengard 3 if you want more details.
Fa Rückt techically it seems to be our world but where magic was introduced
@@FranK-tg7ou It's an alternate version of medieval europe where the ruins of a modern city shows up out of nowhere, bringing with it magical/fantasy creatures and The Watchers
this game is freaking demonic hidden in fantasy fantasy rpg game, yoko should make horror silent hill like games
Fr
best ending imo
Ethan Winters’ nightmare.
man if caim was in re 8, he would sweep the entire game in a couple of hours. running and spaming jump attacks against lady D. i wonder what nightmare he would have at beneviento? his parent's deaths probably and that he has to fight/escape legna.
@@JV-km9xk *Definitelly FIGHT Legna.* If Angelus or anyone else isn't there to rein him in, *Caim's choice is ALWAYS violence.* 😈
ZA WARODOU, but with Story, and bizzare, wait...
*Now I want a Drakengard title with Stand Powers involved, but in a twisted, horrible way.*
@@MrDibara ZA WARODOU Grotesque Adventure.
👈 *DIO!*
Honestly the combat wasn't that bad. simple and a bit repetitive sure, but I actually found it fun.
This is just scary af 😂
These games have serious neon genesis vibes lol
Yup still Unsettling
This would probably be like when the world ends.
Yeah those flying babes reminds me alot of attack on titan.
THOSE ARE THE BABIES, WE-ARE-THE-HUNTERS!
Im having troubles understanding how NieR became a sequel of drakengards ending.
so with ending e of drakengard the mother beast dies and pieces of itself infects modern tokyo and years later nier happens. for an in depth explanation there’s a video you can look up
Soooo they stopped time to stop the end of the world? Am I off? I dont know a thing about Drakengard
They stopped time in that big zone covered in black, not all of the time
Ya
There are magical deals between two beings called "pacts". You fuse your soul with another adn you become one. You gain more power, heal from damage, and etc. once you make a pact but you soul something in return. For Caim, his voice. For Leonard, his Sight. And for Seere, his time. This makes him immortal and breaking his pact would return his time. As you saw, they launched Seere down to the Queen Beast and then Seere broke his pact with the Golem. So the black thing that spread and grew to reach the exosphere was his time and in effect, every grotesquerie baby and the Queen Beast were trapped in time and thus they saved the world.
@@JV-km9xk Quite a roundabout way to save the world, but I cant fault the effectiveness. I just came back and noticed I left this comment. Are most of these Drakengard games worth going through aside from 3? I have my sights on 3 already but are the other two worth it?
In before people start calling THESE angels "Biblically Accurate".
I'd sooner take biblically accurate angels over the watchers cause i'd rather not be eaten alive
@@timothyfinn3619 same.
Drakengard Watchers are clearly designed after Renaissance depictions of Cherubs. Not the three-headed monster that they actually are...
@@AngraMainiiu Cherubim have four heads, actually.
I don't know why, but I felt satisfied seeing the babies eating Arioch alive!
Well, she allowed herself to become a monster.
Ending credits music gives me anxiety.
Never played Drakengard, but now I sort of want to
Enjoy the ride if you ever do, it's really an experience...
First time i see:???okay see one more time?
Second time:....?okay.....
Third time:oh...fucking my eyes!
Weirdest Kindergarden ive seen....
That last line sounded a lot like Kite from .hack. I know it is the same voice but that line sounded especially like him.
You know .hack//?!!
It's rare to find someone that knows
Yeah is kite talking about the epitaf of twilight xD
I’m seeing this at 9AM help me I can’t sleep
wait so if this is canon then how does Caim show up in drakengard 2
there are multiple timelines in drakengard. ending a is where caim survives and continues on to drakengard 2. ending d, he dies but saves the world from the watchers. ending e is where he and the queen beast get transported to another world and dies. ending E leads to the Nier series. they are canon in their own right but everybody sticks to the ending E timeline since that's where nier is.
Someone sent this to me and I have to ask what the fuck did I just watch
Amazing soundtrack
came here to understand the lore of Nier what the fuck
i thought my game cutscenes were this bit laggy because i was playing on opl via usb, but i see its normal. Or are you using opl too?
1:01 take the floor to church
this is art
Wyd in this situation?
Just like the eva series eating eva unit 2 in End of Evangelion
Seriously though what in the actual fuck is this?
Even for Silent Hill this would be too much
Yoko Taro works in mysterious ways.
Anyone who know grotesque shit with messages like this here?
KID STAY AWAY FROM LEONARD, STAY AWAY HE IS GETTING HARD
WHAT...IN THE GRIM FUCKING HELL....
WHAT... THE... FUCK
una mezcla rara entre evangelion, berserk, final fantasy y quien sabe que mas.
Why did they eat her ?
Because she wanted it.
oh, yea, i wanna smoke tht¡at shit too
what IS this song? it's not on the OST. the song in the beginning
Unfortunately Drakengard has a lot of cutscene only tracks that never even made it into the album.
@@AngraMainiiu The intro song... 😢
